(Richmond, IN)--When the announcement was made in January of 2023 that Liberation Labs had picked the Midwest Industrial Park in Richmond for its new facility, production was expected to begin by the end of 2024.  That didn’t happen, and here’s where the project stands now.  According to a memo to Richmond Common Council members, fundraising delays have moved the projected opening back to the second half of this year.  The company said they’ll be ramping up hiring between now and the end of June to ensure the facility is fully staffed by the end of the year.  Liberation Labs was initially announced as a $115 million project that would employ 45 people.
